VFAN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters 'Patent No. 512,293, dated January 9, 1894.

Application filed .Tuly 12.1893.

To all whom it may concern.:

Be it known that I, PHILIPHARNISCHEEGER, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Fans, of which the following is a specification and description.

The object of-this invention is to secure an improved advertising novelty of attractive design, in the shape of a fan.

It consists of the base of a fan in combination with two planes, so arranged that one of them will move between the other two upon motion being communicated to said plane.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l shows the disk of said fan with the manner of attaching movable objects to it. Fig. 2 represents -a side view of said novelty. Fig. 3 shows a particular form of the application of this invention.

Similar letters refer to corresponding parts in the various figures.

A, represents the basic surface of the fan. B represents the handle of said fan. C, rep-- resents a second plane, which is also a movable oloject. D, represents a third plane.

The movable object is fixed in any well known manner to the plane A and so arranged as to take the form of a lever with a weight E at its fulcrum. The movable object C is attached to the plane A, at F. The plane D may be attached in any Well known manner to the surface of the fan A. The eEect of this combination will be to have three layers A, -O and D of various widths so united that the layer C upon proper motion being imparted to the fan will move between the two layers A and D, the layer C being so afxed to the disk A as to allow it to move or revolve when put in motion. It will thus be seen that when the fan is moved from side to Serial No. 480,312. (No model.)

side the plane C because of the weight E will be put in motion.

The method of application of this device shown in Fig. 3 is as follows: The plane D is in that instance the body of a Shoemaker holding in his one arm a shoe; the movable layer C represents the other arm which is attached at F to the layer A, having a weight at E shown in Fig. 1, the plane C being so attached to the plane at F that it will move when motion is imparted to it. The plane A which is the basic layer or the surface of the fan can be illustrated in harmony with the design adopted. Of course I do not confine myself to the particular design of a shoemaker; this is merely offered as one of the illustrations. It will be readily seen by the above illustration that if a fan thus constituted be moved from side to side the arm C will be caused to move up and down, thus illustrating a Shoemaker at work.

Having thus described myinvention, I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent- A fan consisting of a basefA, in combination with a layer C, attached to said surface A,. so that the layer C carrying at its fulcrum, a weight E, will move when put in motion, the whole in combination with a layer D, said layer D being attached to said surface A, in such a manner as to permit the layer C tomove4 between the surfaces A or D, so as to constitute a Vcomplete picture or design.

In witness whereof I have hereunto signed my name in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
